Yesssss... Congratulations, @kmbxo that's great news!

Celebrating with you!! My IMU/PCU application was also referred to the hiring manager today! Still no word on my Telemetry PCU application that got referred last week, but I'm staying close to my phone and checking emails...

Also, @Doglover16 all of my applications say "open" whether or not the status has changed. I think this is pretty common on job apps, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

And @sunflower97 I wouldn't worry too much about the signature on the PDF application, it's just an automatic form that they use. We did have to enter an electronic signature by typing out name and the date on the original applications, so my guess is that's the only signature they need from us at this time... but don't quote me on that! LOL

Rooting for all of us!

Andrew

*Side Note* I also learned today that I made it a step further toward a new grad position ED at Johns Hopkins that I applied for, like over a month ago!! It's been a minute since I had a day with two wins, so I'm super happy... feeling like maybe I should drive up to the casino or something??  ?

@sunflower97  okay thank you! I was wondering, did you already take your NCLEX? And what is your hospital experience? I just don't know what I’m doing wrong with my app!

Hi no worries! My application status still says "Received" so my application hasn't gone any further! But I can definitely answer you questions hehe-- I've already taken and passed my NCLEX! I have 100 hours of volunteer experience at a hospital, and experience volunteering for a surgical-mission trip at a hospital overseas ?

I think our applications might actually be in the same boat at the moment though! Wouldn't think too much about the Job Status, and will keep an eye out on the Application Status for further changes ? I think all jobs whose postings are still open say "Open" under "Job status"! I doubt you're doing anything wrong, just as Drewseph commented ? You got this!!

Has anyone heard back from ED at all?

My application updated on 5/3 for med/onc as "referred to hiring department." No phone calls or emails yet for a potential interview.

Sending positive energy out there to all applicants!

Hi everyone! 

I got a call from the SICU for an interview next week, but I haven't heard anything back form the ICU at Jacob's or the ED. Good luck to everyone!
